I just read this and the story before all in one night. I love it. But I can't believe you followed the plot and killed him off. Now I'm crying and can't even read the next one because I know he won't be in it!!!):

But anyways, it was a good story and you have a very unique writing style. I like it.

I'm sobbing uncontrollably as I type this. I want to understand why he's gone, but I can't. I can only say that this beautiful novel, along with No Air, have only strengthened my love for Severus Snape.

Author's Response: I'm sorry you sobbed but don't worry. The Only Glory will bring back a little of the happiness that's been missing where Sev is concerned.

WHAT... what? Is that some kind of cryptic suicide? She won't! She cant!!! Oh, i'm totally up to date now as i've read the first five chappies of book three but i'm shocked, totally shocked!

Author's Response: She doesn\\\'t want to live without him? I mean she almost did this years ago and the only thing that stopped her was the knowledge that he was alive. She lost that security. Who knows what she\\\'s capable of now.

I remember really vividly the night I read this chapter of the Deathly Hallows, it was about 7 o'clock at night on the day the book was released and I read about Dobby and I didn't just cry... I was hysterical! I had to put the book down because I was full on sobbing and my mum dragged me into the kitchen to make me a strong, sweet tea to calm me down hahaha! That was funny!

This was a great chapter, and Sirus and Valora's care and worry for Harry is so endearing! Well Done!

Author's Response: Oh, when I read this it was probably 3 in the morning (i went to the midnight release) and I didn\\\'t cry too much, I was in shock. I literally had to stop and re-read it before it sank in. So unexpected. I\\\'m glad you like my little re-vamp. Keep up the great R&R!

*sigh* I truly did not expect Sev to die in this story.and (as much as I hate to admit it) I seriously considered not reading any further.but I feel that the story is so wonderful and I'm so totally engrossed in it.that I owe it to myself.(and to the wonderful author ;) ) to keep reading. Please tell me that Valora gets what she wanted.this simply cannot be the end of Severus! I also love how Valora quoted Hamlet as he died.Arghhh! My heart wept for her!
Oh.where are my tissues!!! :(

BTW.I'm sure it took some testicular fortitude to kill Severus.**looks around for crazed fangirls with pitchforks and torches** Here's to having the courage to go against the grain!

Author's Response: Well, I\\\'m glad that through your haze of pain you read on. Hooray for reading! These are definitely the darkest times in Valora\\\'s life, BUT things get better. Promise =)

It took some fortitude, of course but mostly it broke my heart. It was bad enough to read his death the 1st time around but to cause it myself, ugh. I cried when I wrote the outline and then balled my eyes out as I wrote it. I hope you keep up the great R&R and enjoy the rest of the story.
